Eli passed away in June 2008. He is sorely missed.

 

 

 We are senior citizens who enjoy dancing, working on the  computer,  and various other hobbies. We would like to introduce you to our family and some of our friends. We will show you some of our favorite places, and some of the things we like to do best.

       We have always liked to travel and recently we started going to Elderhostels.  We meet many interesting people and are given an in-depth introduction to the places that we visit.

        Our first overseas Elderhostel was to Provence in southern France. To see some of the pictures we took on this trip  CLICK HERE.

        After visiting France, in the Fall of 2001, we decided to study the French language. A year later, in October 2002, we enrolled in an Elderhostel in Three-Rivers, Quebec Province,  in Canada, for an intensive 3 week course in French at the University. To see some of the pictures we took in Canada  CLICK HERE.

         We joined a group from the United Federation of Teachers and embarked on a cruise to the Western Caribbean . The warm sunshine in the area was a welcome change from the winter snows back home. It was also an excellent opportunity to take pictures. To see some of them CLICK HERE

        We had always wanted to visit Ireland and we were pleased to enroll in an Elderhostel that featured Irish song and dance. During our time in Ireland we stayed at hotels in Sligo and Ennis. This area is noted for traditional Irish music. To see pictures of our trip CLICK HERE
